ETELLECT is proud to announce the launch of eSortcode BACS Bureau - a game-changing solution that transforms how UK businesses with BACS Service User Numbers manage direct debit and direct credit processing. This is not just another payment platform; it's the most cost-effective, fully integrated solution on the market.
The Challenge UK Businesses Face
If your business holds a BACS-issued Service User Number (SUN), you understand the complexity of managing payment processing:
- Manual customer onboarding - Time-consuming verification processes
- Disconnected KYC checks - Separate systems that don't talk to each other
- Complex BACS submission - Technical file formats and strict deadlines
- High operational costs - Multiple vendors, multiple fees
- Compliance burden - Constantly changing regulations
Until now, businesses had to choose between expensive enterprise solutions or cobbling together multiple systems. Neither option was ideal.
Introducing eSortcode BACS Bureau
eSortcode BACS Bureau is a complete, integrated platform that handles everything from customer onboarding to BACS file submission - all in one system, at a price point that makes sense for businesses of all sizes.
